description | This paper addresses the fixed-time trajectory tracking control problem of a stratospheric airship. By extending the method of adding a power integrator to a novel adaptive fixed-time control method, the convergence of a stratospheric airship to its reference trajectory is guaranteed to be achieved within a fixed time. The control algorithm is firstly formulated without the consideration of external disturbances to establish the stability of the closed-loop system in fixed-time and demonstrate that the convergence time of the airship is essentially independent of its initial conditions. Subsequently, a smooth adaptive law is incorporated into the proposed fixed-time control framework to provide the system with robustness to external disturbances. Theoretical analyses demonstrate that under the adaptive fixed-time controller, the tracking errors will converge towards a residual set in fixed-time. The results of a comparative simulation study with other recent methods illustrate the remarkable performance and superiority of the proposed control method. |
